The LOTRO Game Servers will be brought down on Thursday, April 24 from 6:00 AM - 12:00 PM Eastern (-5 GMT) for an update to Book 13: Doom of the Last-king. Release notes are now available on the Lorebook. Roheryn will remain up and available during the downtime. Thanks for your patience, and we'll see you back in the game soon!

Patch notes of immediate interest for this community:

User Interface

The Dressing Room UI will now come to the front of the screen when you try on an item.

Pending Quest Rings over NPC heads will now update to the normal quest ring when the quest is no longer pending.

Fixed a bug in the Auction UI that caused the Bid button to stay enabled even when it was not possible to place a bid.

Fixed some feedback problems when using the /inspect command: When used on non-players, would give a general error. When used without a selection, the help feedback was incorrect.

Locked movies in the Movie Library UI will now appear to be grayed out.

Fixed an issue with fading out the player at the end of swift travel.

Fixed an issue where some effects that are applied to the revived target weren’t included in the tooltip for revival skills.

Fixed an issue where newly-added swift travel routes would be unavailable until you talk to the destination stable-master again.

The Social/Who panel could get into a weird state where it wouldn't update until it was closed and reopened. This has been corrected.

Fixed a skill UI issue where companion skills would not grey out when using a non-combat companion skill.

You can now chat using the Numpad enter key. If you have the Numpad Enter key bound to another action already, you may have to rebind it.

Fixed /damagetext to allow floaty damage from other players to be seen.

Floaty critical damage text is more obvious now.

Floaty damage text doesn't overlap with entity names anymore.

Sound device names in the drop-down menus for Voice Playback and Voice Capture no longer get cut off.

"Report as Spammer" option changed to "Report as Gold Spammer" to reflect its intended functionality. All other reporting issues should be filed via ticket.

You can now use the "revert" button on the options/key mappings UI after you've mistakenly removed a key mapping.

Maps/Radar

Crafting Vendors now show up as their own map note type, so you can filter them differently than other vendors.

You can now track quest escort NPCs on both the radar and map.

Festival NPC's map notes will no longer display when the festivals are inactive.

Fog-of-War on the Map Panel for new areas added to the game since launch (Evendim, High Pass, Tal Bruinen, etc) were not functioning correctly and were sometimes revealing portions of the map they shouldn't. Shame on them! Players may notice some previously discovered map portions become undiscovered. Visiting those locations again will rediscover any undiscovered locations that were previously discovered.

Chat UI

The command "/lff" is now used to chat in the Looking For Fellowship chat channel. To toggle your "Looking For Fellowship" flag on or off, you must now use the command "/lookingforfellowship"

Deed Log/Quest Journal

Fixed the fact that the tooltip for the Add To/Remove From Tracker button in the Deed UI erroneously referred to the Deeds as Quests.

When you receive an invitation to join a fellowship you will now see the members of that fellowship before you join.

The quest journal and tracker "ready-to-turn-in" checkmark now appears only when the quest is ready to turn into an NPC (or in some cases an item); it will no longer appear early when you still have something to kill (such as the Captain-General quests in the Ettenmoors).

Tooltips

The tooltip for channeled skills now calls them Channeled Skills and not Toggle Skills.

Monster player "Corruption" and "Appearance" traits will now be labeled correctly in their tooltips.
